Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 racks Pork baby back ribs
- 2 cups BBQ sauce
- 2 tablespoons Brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 sprig Fresh rosemary (optional)
Instructions
Prepare the ribs by removing the silver skin (thin membrane) on the back of the racks for optimal tenderness.
In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, garlic powder, smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper to create a dry rub.
Rub the spice mixture evenly over both sides of the ribs.
Cut the racks into portions with 2-3 ribs each, so they fit easily into the crockpot.
Place the baby potatoes in a medium bowl. Drizzle with olive oil and season lightly with salt and pepper. Toss to coat.
Lay the seasoned potatoes at the bottom of the crockpot, spreading them evenly.
Stack the rib portions on top of the potatoes in the crockpot, arranging them to fit snugly.
Pour the BBQ sauce evenly over the ribs, ensuring they are well-coated.
If using fresh rosemary, place the sprig on top for a fragrant touch.
Cover the crockpot with its lid and cook on low for 6-7 hours or on high for 3-4 hours, until the ribs are tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Optional: For a caramelized finish, carefully remove the ribs from the crockpot and place them on a foil-lined baking sheet. Baste with additional BBQ sauce and broil in the oven on high for 3-5 minutes, until slightly charred.
Serve the ribs hot alongside the potatoes, and enjoy your hearty Crockpot Ribs and Taters!
